If you've done all that and still have bounce then you may never get rid of it. I got rid of it with our last TT when I traded it for a 5'er. I spent $$$ trying different WDH's, truck mods and what not. Adjusted the hitches so many times I swear I could've went camping for 3 summers with the amount of time the tongue jack went up and down. JMO but I feel some TT's just aren't designed right. Axle placement, interior layouts and tank locations all come into play. and until you actually tow the loaded TT you will never know if it will tow great or jerky. I towed a 31' 7300lb TT with a 2010 F150 MaxTow. Could never get it dialed in. The TT (smaller/lighter) that we had before towed great. I really feel that the crappy towing was attributed to the axle placement and interior layout. I had the proverbial 12%+ TW and still couldn't get the jerky bounce out. I even towed the same TT for 1/2 a summer when we got our 12 Ram 2500 CTD. Still made no difference on any WD settings. Even with or without one it still jerked. Different spring bar weights and different head tilt, links, etc. It was just a POS as far as I could tell. I noticed recently that Heartland has a new frame under that same trailer. Wonder why? Just me but I feel some just tow better than others.
